Islanders can have their say on a government strategy for developing post-16 education

What we do

Our aim is to provide education that ensures opportunity and is equal for all. We provide learning opportunities beginning from nursery and continuing through statutory, further and higher education to adulthood. See our education journey in Jersey.
